I have been tasked with finding a suitable solution, app or application for the fairly simple task of syndicating content to one (initially) and eventually several audience groups. I think there must be myriad ways to do this; I am looking for some suggestions of tools that already do this, either to use or to imitate. [more inside]

I'm currently developing 32 ebooks and 32 apps for a Kickstarter, and I'm having a bit of trouble keeping track of all 64 threads. I'm starting to get a better feel for all of the steps involved in developing each of these products, and so I'm wondering if there are tools that might help me keep track of progress on all fronts, keep everyone on task, etc. Alternatively, are there people or services that specialize in this sort of thing and can monitor all the threads of the project and make sure everything is always progressing in some way?

Dear Chaps, I have two products, an Excel spreadsheet and a Filemaker Pro database. The excel spreadsheet is for sale to mortgage brokers. It's the kind of thing designed for a user to enter figures and get all kinds of graphs and information based on the data entered. The other is a contact manager database, again designed as an easy-to-use program for the end user. Does it make sense to turn these products into iPhone/Android/Cloud-based apps, and what would be the next steps in doing so? In other words, what exactly would I be turning them into, and whom would I outsource this job to, if it makes economical sense?

I have a Flash game that I'd like to port over to the iPhone but I don't have the time nor the patience to do it myself.
Are their any companies out there that will develop the application for you, for a price?
